This condition not only has been called Hashimoto's disease but also struma lymphomatosa.Since 1912 it has been debated as to whether this is a distinct clinical entity or a stage of Riedel's struma, as was suggested by Ewing1in 1922. Several excellent reviews in the past few years indicate, however, that there is a distinction between struma lymphomatosa and Riedel's struma. Joll2in 1939,...Bibliography1.
